Weak Stocks Boost Treasuries, Cut Yields

Stock market weakness and consolidation are boosting treasuries, as investors once again flee to what is perceived as a safe haven (see gold also in earlier post). My concern over the long-term is that eventually, treasuries will no longer be perceived as a safe haven. Then, commodities will likely sky-rocket as investors buy anything physical. If government and politicians try to intervene, then investors will flee the Dollar, causing commodities to rocket even higher, and there will be shortages of many commodities.
